He Never Saw a Gold Coin.

The San Francisco Examiner thus
closes. an account of an interview
with ex-senator James G. Fair; 81
had occasion to go down to Georgia
on some business. Igot off at little
station, and after stoppinga day went
up to the ticket agent to buy ticket
back to Washington. l had nothing
but gold in my pocket and threw
down a 20 dollar gold piece. The
agent, young fellow, picked it up,
turned it over in his hand deliberate
ly and then looked me squarely in the
face and said. THAT may be all
right, mister, but never saw one of
those things before, and as Pm only
getting a small salary can't take the
risk of accepting it. If the company
would not accept it would have to
plank down the full amount Here
was an amusing dilemma. AS 1 did
not haveany otherkind ofmoneywith
me, started out to find some one
who knew gold dollar when he saw
one. Luckily 1 ran across an old
man and brought him back with me
to see the agent. The cid fellow said
he had not seen any gold since the
war, but he knew the $50 gold piece
was all right. Both of us finally per-
suaded the agent to take the gold in
payment for ticket. But don't you
know, that the agent was still in
doubt, for he carefully took down my
name and address, and made me
promise to send $40 in good money,
if the company refused to take the
gold"

ED. STANDARDIZATION me little
space in the columns ofyour excellent
paper to pen few lines upon an i'm
portant subject, as well as express II
few thoughts, deduced from reading,
observation and experience. 1t has
been wisely said that "He that causes
two blades of grass to grow where but
one grew before, is public benefac-
tor" Then he that causes two pounds
of beef or butter to be produced where
was produced but one before, and of
better quality,is surely entitled to the
claim. To the skillful breeder of i'm
proved stock we accord all and even
more, for he has added wealth to the
country, and wealth that has brought
culture, refinement, prosperity and
happiness in its train.
Now, while railroad enterprises
may boom, mining and mechanical
interests be developed, let it be ever
remembered that agriculture and
stock raising transcend all, for the
farmer feeds them all. His success,
their profit; his failure, their loss.
AS this is an age of progress, of
thought, of new methods, unworthy
is he who tamely treads in the foot
steps of his ancestors, caring not for
shorter routes or better means to at
tain the same ends. Who can esti-
mate the time, the capital, and the
labor that this lack of interest is cost
ing the farming public today? The
manufacturer discards the old, and
puts in the improved machinery, but
the farmer plods on loyal to the old
ways, and that he lives is due more
to the generous soil than to his skill
as an husbandman.
But to our subject. From a country
in the North of Europe, small on our
maps, great in history, in adventure,
in discovery, but greater in the ener-
gy and industry Of its people, we de-
rive one of the most ancient, noted
and useful races of the bovine species
of which we have any record-the
Holstein-Friesian. Upon the fertile
fields and rich pastures of these hol-
low lands so largely reclaimed from
the domain of old Neptune, for the
sea is above them, these black and
white cattle have been known for
over thousand years. Julius Caesar
alludes to them, and many ancient
writers since his day, while Holland
dairy products rule highest in the
markets of the world. But little
known in America until within the
last twenty years, they, by merit
alone, have forced their way, while,
like the Norman horse, their impor-
tation has grown to be an extensive
business, the demand even exceeding
the supply and today the beautiful
black.a white cattle are found graz
ing in the green meadows, adding
beauty to the landscape, wealth to
: their owners, in nearly every State
and Territory in our Union.

Municipal Election.

The municipal election held last
Saturday was very quiet affair. The
only thing which distinguished the
day from the ordinary appearance of

saloons. There was no excitement,
but little interest, and a light vote
polled. The following ticket was
elected: Mayor, Jesse Walling
Aldermen,.C. G. Black, E. G. Mead,

OBITUARY.
CHARLES P. CAPRON,


 Again are we reminded of the uncer- taiaty of life and the certainty of death, by the removal from our midst of one of our most respected and beloved citizens, Chas. P. Capron, whose death occurred Wednesday, April 23d, after an illness of less than week. He was born in this town, Aug. 26, 1926, and most of his life was spent here, and when we say it was a blessing to the community for him to have lived in it we but poor ly express it, for he was not only kind friend and neighbor, but man of intelligence, with whom it was a pleas ure to converse. Having made the bible special study he was at all times prepared to express his views, and not only express them but he would back them with sufficient proof to convince his hearers of his sincerity.
 The funeral services were held in the Baptist church on Friday, which was largely attended, by relatives and friends, Rev MT Hopper officiating. In accordance with 8 request made few years since by the deceased, the 18th chapter of 1st Corinthians was read, which if We would all so live that at our death this chapter could be read as an illustration of our lives, there would be more happiness and far less misery in this life and brighter prospects for the future. Rev Mir Hopper made some very appropriate remarks upon the life of the deceased, but as he said, Mir Cap ron had preached his own funeral ser mon, and all that he could do was to hold up his life and character before the people as an example of true man. hood.
